Sir Why You Little

I am 62 now. I know I won’t see a Home Base for the MFC in my lifetime. Nobody wants to commit to anything Gosch’s Paddock or Casey Redevelopments are the only way forward Caulfield and Probably Scopus don’t want the MFC on that sight. We had our chance in 2001 and knocked it back, and there lies the problem “When You see a chance, Take it…” S. Windwood

Losing Darren Burgess after ‘21

Essendrug have been really successful since moving to The Hanger… not. It’s important but not the be all and end all. If we concentrated solely on winning games, this issue would have been sorted already…

No doubt we will put in a big performance before the end of the Season, when it won’t matter. Odds on…

Our Number one Priority should always be winning games. That’s the main issue with this Club, Side issues take priority far too often…

Oh please Bing This has been a problem for 4 years… Other teams can master a change in an off Season

Hahahaha that is absolute GOLD

Pressure was off in that game. We couldn’t make the finals There’s part of the problem

Interesting comments from Nicks Simon is obviously highly regarded within his peers as i heard the same type of comments from Adam Simpson. Coaching is a very tough gig. Goodwin maybe doing everything he can right now, but for some reason it’s just not working. If the Players love him so much, they sure ain’t showing during most games. To beat Brisbane away and then Sydney, but to serve up the tripe we have seen for the rest of this season is just shocking The effort and commitment to a full season is not there Losing Darren Burgess was a huge and costly loss

We have been treading water and slowly receding for 4 Seasons, so i think that chance may have passed him by I certainly hope 2026 is not another rinse and repeat Goodwin should have been replaced after 2 straight set Final defeats…but instead his contract was extended Here we are in 15th position

I thought he was finished after last year’s GF But after hearing him on AFL 360 i have come around, if he still has the fire in the Belly to do it, i think John would be an excellent next Coach

I think Buckley or Longmire could both get results out of this list (with some major adjustments of course) but the core is very good

And that’s the bottom line The Top Clubs would not accept that Why should we…..

6 Years ago…. Hello Simon..

Yes you are right, but Goodwin like the wide entries, so the Goal Kicking does require more skill. I have never understood why it is not Top Priority at Training Look at how Powerful our Midfield was in the GF, once the Dogs were out of gas Imagine if we had kicked 15 points rather than goals The difference in accuracy is massive

I Agree with all of the above, but what blows my mind is the lack of elite Goalkicking to finish the job Our Forward entries (and there is always a lot of them) has always been Hack & Hope, this was mentioned on here in 2018, and the basic philosophy of it has always remained In ‘21 we won the Flag because the Team was Super Fit and we were fortunate to get some good games out of Benny Brown running into September Forward Craft has always been neglected under the Goodwin tenure

Neale Danniher 1998….??

Yes an ongoing problem with the MFC is that Players have always “switched on” or switched off” sporadically. 2021 is the only year since Norm Smith was in charge that we have been mentally tuned in for an entire season. The Filth, Jeeelong and Hawthorn have a high standard that is adhered too year after year, yes they have dips in their performances, but those performances are outliers. Whereas with the MFC we for whatever reason cannot stay at a high level Chris Scott or Craig McCrae would not put up with a disfunctional Forward Line for multiple seasons, so why should we accept it. We went out of the ‘23 Final Series because of Bad Kicking…Since then the situation has only gotten worse In what other Profession would Goodwin and his assistants survive with their current record since 2021…?? The Last 30 Games 10 Wins 20 Losses Our list is better than that, the Standards set by the Club are either Not High Enough or they are not Enforced Many of us have commented since early ‘22 that the Team was winning ugly, but the Forward Line was not in a good place. and yet the Head Coach tells us every week that the system is being worked on. Enough of this Charade…

I think the list is pretty good Kings Birthday and the Brisbane win show me this I don’t think the Football Department staff are coaching at all well. We need a Clean out of Staff

Too much Love. Not enough hard work (Physically or Mentally)

Every decent team uses pressure in its execution. They are also drilled in many other facets The MFC is just badly Coached by the Football Department, it can be nothing else It happens weekly

I know. If i was Head Coach, Goalkicking Practices would be a mandatory requirement for every player on a regular basis. Similar to the Australian Cricket Team back in the 80’s, all players including bowlers had to bat in the nets. And guess what, the Tailenders started making valuable contributions to an innings and games were won…. The Lack of care towards goalkicking by ALL Players has cost us Finals and at least one Flag We are now in the Bottom 4

Agreed. That is why i said it’s on the entire Department But i am also suprised that the Players aren’t harder on each other to improve Goalkicking efficiency

It’s on the entire Football Department…. We are not Hungry enough for Success, otherwise the Goalkicking Yips would have been sorted out between the Players They don’t demand enough out of each other…

54 Forward Entries for 8 Goals This is a standard (90%) statistic we have had for the past 4 years Members, who pay a lot of money to this Club deserve a much better return..
